The 12 Old Timer pattern, or the 12OT, first came out in 1991, and continued until the end in 2004. Like so many recent Schrades, unless you have an new example, with the packaging it came with, there is nothing to distinguish it. I do not believe there were any variances, like the length of the pull, blade shape, or in the tang stamp, during those years, that could be used to date it.
